Help us save more donkeys’ lives in Egypt with a community veterinary team.
With your support, we can transform donkeys’ lives in Egypt with a new community veterinary team.
Beyond the El Saf brick kilns in Egypt, there are many communities where working donkeys, horses and mules remain essential for daily transport, farming and carrying goods to market.
In these areas, many animals are overworked, resulting in preventable health problems such as harness wounds, overgrown hoofs, malnutrition, dehydration and exhaustion, an issue that’s compounded by limited access to veterinary provision.
But we cannot launch this vital new community vet team without your support.
Please, send a gift today, and give the working donkeys, horses and mules of Egypt the lives they deserve.
Dr Shaaban’s teams have visited the brick kilns in El Saf since 2023 – carrying out life-saving work.
We now want to transform the lives of community donkeys too, north of Cairo.
To treat these animals and ensure they’re better cared for, we desperately need to establish a community vet team, one that can be as successful as the El Saf mobile vet clinics.
We aim to employ a vet and two assistants, both of whom will be trained farriers, and equip them with a vehicle capable of travelling long distances on rural roads. Inside will be all the diagnostic tools, equipment and medication they need to identify issues and treat on the spot.
Alongside the surgical work will be an educational role, to work directly with owners, educating them to improve long-term welfare standards and prevent needless suffering – a model that has had such a transformative effect in El Saf.
Your donations will help us set up our new mobile vet team in Egypt, as well as support all our mobile clinics, and care for our rescue donkeys.
